A corrective deed is executed by the former owner to correct any errors or deficiencies in their original deed of sale. A corrective deed must be drafted or ordered by the attorney who represents the present owner. Not all errors can be corrected simply by recording a corrective deed and there may be costs involved.

You really can't get a sample since we do not know what error was made in the original deed. Corrective deeds must be drafted to address a particular set of facts and errors. You should consult an attorney who specializes in real estate law who can review your situation and explain the solution. Errors made by non-professionals can be costly to correct. Non-professionals who execute "corrective" deeds often make more errors and the problem grows.

What should you do when you get a deed with an error or missing course in the legal description?

If the error is minor, and the deed has a title reference that states it is the same property described in a former deed and that former deed recites the correct description, then you may be safe to ignore the error. A missing course in an otherwise perfect deed can be corrected by a scrivener's affidavit. If the error is substantial enough that it causes confusion as to what land was conveyed then you will need a corrective deed. You should have the deed reviewed by the attorney who represented you at the closing ASAP.


What must be contained in a corrective deed?

Deeds should always be drafted by a professional. Errors made by non-professionals can be costly to correct later, if they can be corrected. Errors are often not discovered until the property is sold and the proposed buyer's attorney discovers a problem during the course of a title examination. The issue will then need to be addressed by the seller.In this case an error has already been made so it is even more important to have a professional draft the "corrective deed". So called "corrective deeds" executed by non-professionals are often followed by the need for additional "corrective deeds" as the problem grows.


I looked the title deed to my house and I noticed the address is incorrect. How can I correct this mistake since I purchased the house seven years ago?

If the deed description of the property is correct then it's not a problem if only the address is recited incorrectly. The deed description is what identifies the property that is being conveyed. If the property address is the only description of the property then you have a problem. You would need to obtain a corrective deed.


What papers have to be signed to remove your ex-girlfriend's name from your deed?

Your ex-girlfriend must execute a quitclaim deed that conveys her interest in the property to you. Generally, you follow the form of the last deed for the property, she would be the grantor and you the grantee. You should have the deed drafted by an attorney to make certain it is done properly. It should then be recorded ASAP. Errors in deeds can be very expensive to correct at a later date especially when the grantor is no longer available to sign a corrective deed. Errors are not found until you attempt to sell or refinance.
